Vanderhoof RCMP locate portable grow operation

During the evening of October 7, RCMP were called out to an abandoned trailer in a rural area of Vanderhoof. Members looked inside and found a marijuana grow operation. All plants had been removed but the equipment was still there. All identifying marks on the trailer had been removed making it difficult to trace the owner. (See photos on page 11.)
